However, the nephrotoxic side-effects of Vancomycin results in dose restriction and reduces the duration of administration. Objectives: The present study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of aqueous saffron (Crocus sativus) extract on vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Materials and methods: In this study 32 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 8 rats; (i) control (ii) saffron (80 mg/kg, I.P.), (iii) vancomycin (200 mg/kg/BD, I.P.) and (iv) vancomycin plus saffron. The saffron treatment began 24 hours before the administration of the vancomycin therapy and lasted 8 days, while the duration of the vancomycin therapy was 7 days. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), renal malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and histopathological changes of renal tissue were analyzed. Results: Administration of vancomycin caused a significant increase in serum creatinine, BUN and renal MDA levels, whereas, SOD activity was decreased, when compared to the control group. Aqueous saffron extract, on the other hand, decreased serum creatinine, BUN concentration and renal MDA levels but increased the level of renal SOD activity. Substantial histopathological alterations including destruction of kidney tubules, interstitial edema, epithelia vacuolization and epithelial desquamation, were observed with the vancomycin-only treatment group. However, the administration of saffron extract resulted in a significant reduction of damage to the kidneys. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that oxidative stress plays an important role in vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity and saffron extract has a potent renoprotective effect against vancomycin induced lipid peroxidation and nephrotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":13333,"journal":{"name":"Imaging in Medicine","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86916197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, these techniques gained importance to detect disease progression and possible treatment responses. In this study, two widely used fat quantification MRI sequences (two- and three- point Dixon) were applied to assess the reproducibility and reliability of the techniques. Methods: For this clinical trial six healthy volunteers were scanned at a 3T clinical MRI scanner a total of six times on two different days (three times each) using two different fat quantification techniques: a 2-point Dixon (2-PD) and a 3-point Dixon (3-PD) technique. Each time axial sequences of both thighs were acquired. For all repeated scans and subjects a total of 660 muscles of the thighs were segmented with regions of interest (ROI) by two different raters. An interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to compare inter-rater and intra-rater agreement of the different acquisition methods, regarding other potential biases such as repetition and day of the scans. Furthermore, the general accuracy of the different methods was obtained by calculating the fat fraction. Results: For quantitative MRI accessing the fat fraction in the thigh muscles, Dixon sequences have been shown to be very stable in reproducibility with ICCs of >0.9 of both inter-rater and intra-rater agreement, as well as low variability. There was no significant difference between the two sequences regarding reproducibility, although 2-PD Dixon showed a little advantage when measuring small muscles. Conclusion: In conclusion both sequences are useful for assessing fatty muscle degeneration showing a high reproducibility and reliability, with low inter- and intra-rater differences. 2-PD showed a small advantage when measuring small muscles.","PeriodicalId":13333,"journal":{"name":"Imaging in Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"3-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90175956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
